Tamba
bartelsi Kobes, 1997, Heterocera Sumatrana,
12: 56.
Diagnosis.
See the previous two species. This is most similar to sobana in
facies but with a larger reniform and a more irregular postmedial to the
forewing. The portion of the latter anterior to the angle is edged by a series
of dark brown spots distally, and this dark brown shade recurs over the
submarginal just exterior to these spots, extending to the margin centrally. The
male genitalia have the costal process to the valve very large, paddle-like,
with an acute angle on the distal side of the handle of the paddle.
Geographical
range. Sumatra, Borneo, Thailand (VK).
Habitat
preference. There is one specimen from the Pontianak locality noted for the
previous two species and three taken in lowland forest during the Mulu survey:
at 150m on G. Mulu; at 250m on the lower slopes of the limestone G. Api; at 150m
in wet heath forest just west of the Melinau Gorge.
